Patrick Mahomes' foundation donated more than $400,000 in grants to over 25 Kansas City charities

Not only is Mahomes a perennial MVP candidate, but with all this in mind, it should be no surprise that the quarterback is also in the running for another prestigious NFL award: Walter Peyton Man of the Year.

Jimbo Fisher just stole a top recruit from Louisville even after Jeff Brohm hiring

The good news for the Lousiville Cardinals is that they didn't have to wait long to replace Scott Satterfield. The bad news for Louisville is even the hiring of new HC Jeff Brohm couldn't keep 5-star 2023 running back Rueben Owens from de-committing and going elsewhere.

Florida Gators land elite 2024 five-star QB recruit DJ Lagway

The Florida Gators aren't yet back to the level they enjoyed under Urban Meyer and in the height of the Tim Tebow years, but Billy Napier did some nice things in his first season as head coach and he just got himself a huge win on the recruiting trial.

The Music City Bowl needs to be renamed the Backup Bowl

On paper, the Music City Bowl looked like a pretty intriguing matchup between two notable 7-5 programs, Iowa and Kentucky.

Three teams can clinch their spot in the playoffs this weekend

With just a few weeks left in the NFL season, we're officially heading into crunch time. This is the time of the season when divisions are won and playoff berths are locked in, and there are three teams that are oh-so-close to making the NFL's big dance.

How MLB insider Jon Heyman created a meme by mistakenly reporting Aaron Judge to the Giants

Jon Heyman is a known baseball insider. He's broken plenty of stories before and he'll break many in the future, but at least on one night, he jumped the shark.

Watch: Tom Brady tried to recruit Aaron Judge to play tight end for Buccaneers

It's fun to think about a potential Brady-to-Judge connection. We know Judge can bash home runs, but with his size and athleticism, he'd probably be a good NFL tight end as well.

University of Virginia honors slain football players with special gesture

What UVA has done for the families, friends and loved ones of Devin Chandler, Lavel Davis Jr. and D'Sean Perry is both notable and honorable. The three student-athletes were killed on Nov. 13 as they returned from a class trip to Washington D.C.

Deion Sanders criticized on CNN for leaving Jackson State

Deion Sanders left HBCU Jackson State, which he put in the national spotlight, and took a well-deserved job at Colorado. But not everyone is happy for Sanders, though.

Packers GM doesn't sound like he needs to evaluate Jordan Love further in 2022

The Green Bay Packers aren't technically eliminated from playoff contention, and thus, Aaron Rodgers will continue to be the starter. This is despite his ailing ribs and a broken thumb, of course. This is also despite the fact that his backup, Jordan Love, looked pretty darn good in relief action a few weeks ago.

Tennessee QB Hendon Hooker got snubbed for Heisman consideration

University of Tennessee quarterback Hendon Hooker had himself one heck of a 2022 season. That season apparently wasn't enough to get him invited to New York as one of the finalists for the Heisman Trophy, though.

Why the Fenway Bowl could be the most heated game of the 2022 bowl season

It's college football bowl season, which means that it's also college football coaching carousel season. The Cincinnati Bearcats know that truth intimately right now, as they find themselves right in the thick of the insanity.

Stetson Bennett, Max Duggan, C.J Stroud, and Caleb Williams are your 2022 Heisman Trophy finalists

Now that conference championship have been won and the College Football Playoff is set, the next order of business of this college football season is figuring out just who will join the most exclusive of exclusive clubs.

It's time to put some respect on Christian Watson's name

Watson has been playing so well that he's making a strong case for being considered the NFL's offensive rookie of the year. With a few more strong weeks he very well could beat out the likes of Chris Olave (New Orleans Saints), Kenneth Walker III (Seattle Seahawks), and Garrett Wilson (New York Jets).

Watch: Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin screams at fan before game: 'Man, I'm f***** working'

Mike Tomlin's Steelers (5-7) have won two straight, but could the stress of a 5-7 season be getting to him? It's that, or Tomlin is just extremely locked in on gamedays.

Jaire Alexander apologized for calling former Packers teammate a scrub

Jaire Alexander was obviously feeling himself after his Green Bay Packers beat their arch-rivals, the Chicago Bears, 28-19, on Sunday afternoon.

Robert Griffin III seems to think he has John Madden energy as a broadcaster

Robert Griffin III has been a revelation as a color commentator for ESPN. That much is certain, and if you don't believe it, go check out the social media trends from this past college football regular season.

College GameDay's Chris 'The Bear' Fallica ditching ESPN for new home

"The Bear", as he's affectionately known, is as much of the college football pregame experience as Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit. No, Chris Fallica, his

Virginia's all-time passing leader, Brennan Armstrong, to enter the transfer portal

It's a bit surprising to hear that Armstrong has decided to play out his final year of eligibility somewhere else. He'll be entering the college football transfer portal as a graduate transfer candidate. He'll have an opportunity to make an immediate impact for some other program.

South Carolina has shocking similarity with CFP hopeful Michigan

Michigan and South Carolina, an unlikely but impressive pairing. With that perspective, the Gamecocks' 2022 season looks even more impressive.

Former Michigan QB Cade McNamara announces transfer decision

The expectation was that it wouldn't take McNamara long for him to find a new college home, and that expectation was right on the money. Just a few days after putting his name into the transfer portal, McNamara has announced his decision.

Ohio State or Alabama could still (technically) make the CFP

It's strange seeing both Ohio State and Alabama on the outside looking in of the College Football Playoff rankings, isn't it?

USC finds itself in the CFP Top 4 and one win away from clinching a berth

The 11-1 USC Trojans have put their best foot forward these last two weeks with wins over No. 16 UCLA and No. 15 Notre Dame. Now ranked No. 4 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, the Trojans are a win away from securing their spot in the playoffs.

New head coach Hugh Freeze has message for Auburn fan base

Freeze's coaching chops are unquestionable. His past, on the other hand? Well, there's reason to doubt it, but Auburn's new head coach is hoping he can prove those doubters wrong.
